Functions of Organelles Flashcards
Ribosomes.
Protein synthesis,
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Synthesis of membranes. Regulates Ca2+ ions. Processes toxins.
Centrioles.
Needed for cell division.
Golgi Apparatus.
Builds lysosomes.
Cytoplasm.
Site of chemical reactions. Maintains shape.
Mitochondria.
The site of aerobic respiration.
Cell membrane.
Regulates movement.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Formation and synthesis of proteins.
Nucleus.
Contains DNA.
Nucleolus.
Assembles ribosomes.
Lysosomes.
Aids digestion.
Vesicles.
Contains digestive enzymes.
Acrosome.
Breaks down zona pellucida.
Flagellum.
Allows movement.
Lipid Droplets.
Oil droplets, a metabolic reserve of energy.
Cortical Granules.
Prevents polyspermy.
Corona Radiata.
Produces proteins.
Zona Pellucida.
Protects cell. Regulates interactions between sperm and egg.
Vacuole.
Food store. Keeps shape.
Tonoplast.
Maintains cell turgidity.
Chromatin.
Efficiently packages DNA.
Nuclear Envelope.
Controls nuclear movement.
Cell Wall.
Supports and protects cell. Regulates movement.
Amyloplast.
Responsible for synthesis and storage of starch granules.
Chloroplasts.
Photosynthesis.
Middle lamella.
Pectin layer joining two plant cells together.
Pit.
Aids movement.
Plasmodesma.
Channel through the cell wall.
